Between the small MPV slowly being killed off and supermini platforms becoming modular, we ended up with with a new type of vehicle, the urban crossover SUV. Everybody has one nowadays, from the Opel Mokka to the Renault Capture, and they are all proving very successful.
Honda revealed its B-segment SUV last month at the Tokyo Motor Show. It's called the Vezel, and it went on sale today in Japan, with plans to bring it to Europe and the US as well.

Based on he same platform as the new Honda Fit/Jazz, it combines the attributes of an SUV, MPV and coupe.

Prices in the Japanese market range from the 1.87 million yen for the base model with a 1.5-liter engine and 2WD and go all the way up to 2.68 million yen for the top-spec Vezel Hybrid with 4WD and a seven-speed DCT.

A wide range of colors, four choices of wheel design, available LED lights and ore make this one of the most attractive Hondas of the moment. The normal Fit hatchback is currently the best selling car in Japan with over 20,000 sales every month, so much is expected.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
